My NEW Haircut

A Roof, Windows and Doors, Oh My!

Our house is really coming along. They've installed the plumbing, HVAC, electricity and even a roof, windows and doors. We're really moving now!

Vegas Baby!

Shaun and I decided that instead of spending a bunch of money going out to dinner for Valentine's Day, we'd drive to Vegas to get out of the cold and visit my brother Brandon and his family. May I just say 70 degrees and sunny. Sometimes I think I could live in Vegas.

Some of the highlights were a shopping trip to H&M, going to see Mamma Mia! with Brandon and Janae, eating lemon and mixed berry gelato at the Bellagio, and playing with Mason and Avery.

Another Progress Report

They've finished framing our house! I'm so excited! Here are some pics.

Book of a Thousand Days

I just read the cutest book this weekend. It's by Shannon Hale (who has written several super cute books). If any of you are looking for a fun read, try this one.

Sissel in Concert

Shaun and I had such a fun night last night. My parents had tickets to go see Sissel but ended up not being able to use them, so we got to go instead! It was so much fun. We dressed up and drove downtown then took Trax to the Gateway. We grabbed some dinner at Thaifoon and then headed back to Abravenal Hall for the concert. It was amazing! We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed an evening of incredible music. Her voice is just gorgeous. Anyway, it was lots of fun, so thank you Mom and Dad for the tickets.

How to Frame a House in Less Than a Week

The answer: Eight guys and a lot of wood.

They've started framing our house! They have so many guys working on it that they should be finished in just a day or two. I can't believe how fast it's happening, and yet, it's still too slow! Shaun drives out to our lot at least once a day and takes pictures every single time. I think you could say that he's just a little bit excited about our new house.
